Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

Best car I've owned

by Pontiac Lover from Trenton, OH | June 21, 2011

I've had my FWD Silver Torrent for a few years now. Just like the rest of my previous pontiacs that I've owned, I've never had any problems at all. Love the V6, plenty of power. Best SUV I have ever owned. Really want to keep my Torrent for a while...even though Pontiac is dead and they quit making the Torrent. If I ever do decide to trade it in...will be sad to see it go because it will be my last Pontiac. :(

Love it for city or highway driving

Negative: Cruise control was not standard so for the money we opted not to take it. Wish I had now.
Back seat riding isn't real comfortable, seats are hard.
Also, bucket seat compartment not user friendly.
Positive: Love the handling and features and everything else about it.

Great buy for the money.

I've owned my Torrent for one year now and have no major complaints. The ride is very comfortable, especially on extended trips. I've not had a single mechanical problem and I find it has plenty of power to merge onto urban freeways and to climb the mountains of Western Maryland.. It's easy to drive, and it's proof to me that US manufactures are once more making quality and reliability a priority. My two previous cars were a Toyota Corolla and a Honda CRV. In comparison, the Torrent is more for the money, and so far, every bit as dependable.

comfortable and stylish

just bought a leftover 2007 Torrent . car is very stylish and looks like its worth more than it costs. being over 6 ft i do appreciate gm finaly making comfortable seats. cons?minor. turning radius, parking brake lever; awkward placement. great hit for my driving kids.

Great vehicle

by Performance driver from Gun Lake, MI | April 19, 2007

My Torrent is a very good looking vehicle and I am averaging 21 mpg. It rides nice and handles well. The engine could use a little more power and the transmission shifts more than I am used to but it is a 5 speed auto. The value for the price is very good.
I don't like the way the center armrest is as it is impossible to get to the CD holder. The cup holders block access to the area under the armrest and it only has 1 power outlet.
Overall I rate the vehicle at a stron 4 out of 5.

No problems from day one.

Torrent has been tight and quiet. I find performance and gas mileage better than expected. The seats are comfortable, even for long drives. I especially like the smooth 5 speed tranny, it makes the modest 185 hp seem like much more. It is alot of car for the money. The safety features are usually found on more expensive cars at extra cost.
A good sounding engine!
Only real complaint is: instruments are sometimes hard to read, sun seems to find them often.
